Video Connection Options

The DCT6400 offers the following video outputs:
HDTV Component Video, HDMI
Standard Composite Video, S-Video, or RF coaxial.
To determine the available inputs on your TV, check the manual supplied
with the TV or the TV itself.
Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for
your home entertainment system:
Component video (Y Pb Pr) – HDTV and standard
The Y Pb Pr connectors on your DCT6400 provide component
video, which is the most widely supported HDTV connection.
HDMI – HDTV and standard
HDMI offers higher video quality than component video. If your TV
has an HDMI input, use the HDMI connection on your DCT6400.
Motorola recommends using HDMI cables less than 20 meters long.
HDMI is compatible with DVI. If your TV has a DVI input, you can
use an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable to connect to the DCT6400
HDMI connector. Seperate audio cable(s) are required when using
HDMI to DVI.
S-Video – standard only
If your TV has an S-Video input, use S-Video. S-Video is the
highest quality standard-definition video output on the DCT6400.
Composite video – standard only
If your TV does not have an S-Video input, use the composite
video (VIDEO) output.
RF coaxial – standard only
If your TV only has a coaxial RF input, connect it to the DCT6400
RF OUT connector.
